Kia ora!


It's mid afternoon Wednesday! I'm relaxing in my hostel that overlooks the ocean. It's awesome here. We ran into a a few snags in the begginning. The plane ride wasn't bad at all. We got off the plane at 4:30 AM, and attempted to chill in Auckland before heading to Raglan. However we ended taking the wrong bus which ran through the poorest neighborhod of the city. But besides that, everything has gone wonderfully. I'm not sure if we looks confused, but we had over 10 people ask us if we needed direction in the first few hours. Even the bus drivers took time to explain everything. We're just shocked about how friendly everyone is.

Last night, we took a walk along the shore and the tide was down. Literally, we were walking on millions of sea shells and star fish. AND THERE"S JELLY FISH!!!!

but today, we're taking surf lessons, and then taking a casual bike ride in town and then heading to the pub.

I could live in this town forever. Everything is clean, everyone is bare foot.


More to come later, I gotta surf!
